Is FSU still on top for coveted DE Nyjalik Kelly after visit?
Saturday marked the much-anticipated return visit of Dillard defensive end Nyjalik Kelly, who decommitted from the Florida State football team about six weeks ago and has since become a focus of many college powers.
Even after he backed out of his commitment, Kelly made it clear that he still had a lot of love for the Seminoles. And on Saturday, after returning to check things out in person, the talented pass-rusher discussed where things stand in his recruitment, whether the 'Noles still sit in the top spot and more.

From the sounds of things, the fun of recruiting is just getting started for the Fort Lauderdale product.
"It feels so great to be back," Kelly said. "I like it. Actually, I love it. And it feels exactly how I expected it to in being back at FSU.

It feels like home, and I really love the coaches here.
"But at the same time, I have to finish up all my visits and see where things go."
